Warlord Games and Italeri are bringing in the heavies with a Tiger Zug (Platoon: German). In this box set you get mid to late war Tigers with Zimmerit anti-tank paste. If you so desire you can make one of the tanks tank number 007, the famous Tiger commanded by SS-Hauptsturmführer Michael Wittmann.

So for those of you looking to get into Tank War for Bolt Action and are playing the Germans this might be the set for you. These are all plastic sets and are really nice kits to assemble.

Just remember that Tigers are pretty expensive points wise in a game, so make sure you can assemble a list that complements them nicely, as I unfortunately discovered at my last Bolt Action tournament. This set will be available in mid March you can pre-order now.

Not much of a story other than I brought a Tiger to the 1000 point tournament and got my butt handed to me by numerical attrition. I had less than half the amount of troops than my opponents and they just wore me down. Bad dice rolling didn’t help either.

It would be nice to have some stowage or other ways of giving each Tiger a little personality of its own (Wittman perched on the turret all the time would be a little ridiculous – I would magnetise him).

Well “Zug” in german military slang is “Platoon”. But yeah in a civilian meaning, a ” Zug” is mostly a railroad train. Btw in games, a “Zug” is referred to as a “turn” there are other meanings, but I’d like to end the little german lesson
